The family business opened in 1969 as the first canoe livery service on the Little Miami River, according to the company’s website.
Morgan’s has partnered with the Little Miami Conservancy, Ohio Department of Natural Resources, and the Susan Geier Peters Foundation to make sure their five properties, totaling over 25 acres, are protected for conservation.
Since 1964, Bob and June Morgan, along with their sons, have “introduced thousands” to the wonders of the Little Miami River, they said.
“This is a perfectly beautiful ending to our lifelong stewardship of the river. The legacy of this river and its importance to people and wildlife will live on through so many conservation efforts,” the family wrote in an announcement.
The company plans to maintain its operations at the Morgan’s Whitewater River location in Indiana.
“To our loyal customers and community: thank you for 60 amazing years,” the family said. “Together, we’ve created memories that will last a lifetime and helped ensure the Little Miami River remains a treasure for future generations.”
